Mainz vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Tips
The match between FSV Mainz 05 and Bayer Leverkusen will be played on matchday 7 of the Bundesliga. Mainz have had a poor season so far and are in 16th place, the relegation spot, with only four points. Leverkusen have stabilised under new coach Kasper Hjulmand and are back on track to join the top group. Our prediction is that there will be goals at both ends in this game.
Mainz 05 played well last season, but the team has not yet found its form this season. Most recently, Mainz lost 4-0 to the promoted team from Hamburg. They usually play with great commitment in their own stadium and need an encouraging result against Leverkusen.
Leverkusen is unbeaten in its last eight games and is slowly climbing the table. The team has also compensated for the additional strain of the Champions League so far. Nevertheless, draws are still common as the new squad is still finding its feet.
Bayer have won six of the last 10 direct encounters. Mainz victories are rare, with only two in this period. The 05ers have not won against Leverkusen in their last three home games.
